Snowy Roses

Here are what the poor roses in our garden looked like yesterday morning. . .

Thankfully, the snow has melted again---hopefully it will be awhile before any more snow comes our way!

Two inches

An early October snowstorm dropped two inches of snow on us yesterday. . . . thankfully, most of it has melted already. We are not quite ready for the snow to arrive to stay!

Harvesting Carrots

Just before the weather turned "wintery," we harvested all of our carrots from the garden. Note the beautiful heirloom "Cosmic Purple" carrots mixed in with the traditional orange varieties---aren't they interesting? They were delicious, too!

(Someone else has been enjoying the carrots, too! :-)

Frost (well, snow) on the Pumpkin

Additional scenes from yesterday's snowfall. . . . it's sunny here today, but they are predicting another 2" of snow tomorrow. It seems too early for this!!

What a difference two days makes. . .

It snowed all morning and it's sooo cold!

It's Pumpkin Season!

Nothing says 'October' quite like pumpkins!!

You Say Tomato . . .

We say tomatoes! We've harvested the last of the tomatoes for the season and there are a lot of them, in all shapes, sizes, and colors. It's been wonderful to enjoy all of the varying flavors, as well.

Delicious!!

And here are the green tomatoes that we had to harvest early because of the frost. . . they are ripening quickly near the sunny window.
